In this clip from our webinar on writing instruction, Dr. Steve Graham talks about the importance of models of strong writing to guide students. Every Writing Pathway module for the paragraph and beyond begins with a model so students know exactly what success looks like. And our AI can generate that model--in YOUR content--so you don't have to write it from scratch yourself! Check it out at writingpathway.org

We’re thrilled to hear how much the Writing Pathway is helping educators! It’s been incredible to see how the tool is lightening the load for teachers and transforming writing instruction. Huge thanks to our amazing team for making this possible—this is why we’re so passionate about bringing AI-powered, research-backed tools to classrooms!

Did you know that by 2025, 1 in 4 students in public schools will be a multilingual learner (ML)? As the number of ML students grows, it's important that you have the right tools to support them. Even for those of us with experience teaching multilingual learners, we don’t always consider ourselves experts. That’s where our Multilingual Learner Action Guide for Literacy comes in. Our resources are designed to help K-2 teachers build the literacy skills of multilingual learners with confidence. Explore strategies, tools, and activities to make a meaningful impact in your classroom today: https://lnkd.in/gF4y4-xC #BilingualChildMonth

Teaching Lab in the field: Our outstanding leadership was demonstrated during the first professional learning session for principals in NYC's District 9! 🌟 The session is designed to help principals analyze their school's implementation of the NYC Reads ELA curriculum using the NYC Reads ELA Implementation Tool. During the session, principals discussed the relationships between instructional indicators, HMH: Into Reading curriculum resources, and the 24-25 Instructional Shifts. We emphasized how these indicators manifest in effective teaching practices and offered advice on assessing and creating enabling conditions for the curriculum's success. Principals gained a comprehensive understanding of how to lead literacy instruction more effectively while remaining aligned with the Science of Reading.

Renowned writing expert Dr. Steve Graham highlights a key challenge in writing instruction: only about a third of teachers have a structured approach, leaving many to rely on their own resources with limited support. He emphasizes the need for flexible tools like the Writing Pathway to better integrate writing into the secondary curriculum. Discover how this new tool makes writing instruction easier and more effective for teachers everywhere! https://lnkd.in/g4V2Hm2x #WritingInstruction
